But, shining up your stainless steel sink so that it looks like new is actually easier than you think. All you need are a few household ingredients that are probably already sitting in your pantry. Read on to for a step-by-step guide on how to clean a stainless steel sink.\r\n<h3>Project step-by-step (7)<\/h3>\r\n<h3>Step 1<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217420\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1267864309-Sinks.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Sink drain\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Empty and Rinse the Sink<\/h4>\r\nFirst, empty the sink entirely (including any rubber mats or metal sink grids). Then rinse the sink thoroughly with hot water, using the faucet sprayer, if you have one.\r\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-polish-a-stainless-steel-sink\/\">Once you're done cleaning, here's how to polish.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3>Step 2<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_571789207-Baking-soda.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Baking soda\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Sprinkle Baking Soda<\/h4>\r\nSprinkle the damp sink with baking soda. Cover the entire surface of the sink with a thin layer of baking soda and be sure to include the sides. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/benefits-of-baking-soda\/\">Here are some other surprising benefits of baking soda you should know.<\/a>\r\n<h3>Step 3<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217430\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_61884580-cleaning.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Scrubbing the sink\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Scrub the Sink<\/h4>\r\nUsing a wet sponge or cleaning cloth, scrub the sink with the baking soda. Scrub in the direction of the stainless steel grain, paying close attention to areas that are stained or have stuck-on grime. You can add a little bit more water if needed. The water and baking soda will form a paste as you scrub, coating the sink. The baking soda works as an abrasive cleaner, but is gentle enough to not scratch the stainless steel surface.\r\n<h3>Step 4<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217435\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1098738221-Lemon.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Holding a lemon\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Using a Lemon, Scrub Again<\/h4>\r\nCut a lemon in half and use the lemon halves to scrub the sink again with the baking soda paste that is still coating your sink. The high acid levels in lemon juice (and lime juice!) can help to fight bacteria, not to mention freshen your sink with a lovely citrus smell.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/20-fresh-ways-to-clean-with-lemon\/\">Check out these 20 unexpected ways to clean with lemon.<\/a>\r\n<h3>Step 5<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_109483814-steel.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Water going down the drain\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Rinse<\/h4>\r\nRinse away the baking soda paste and lemon juice with water. Run the used lemon halves through the garbage disposal to clean and freshen it.\r\n<h3>Step 6<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_1296110344-vinegar.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Water and vinegar\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Vinegar for Water Spots<\/h4>\r\nWith a spray bottle filled with vinegar, spray the entire sink. Then buff the vinegar into the sink with a clean cloth, the vinegar works as a natural disinfectant and water stain remover.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/easy-vinegar-uses-to-clean-brighten-and-deodorize-your-home\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Is there anything vinegar can't clean? Check out these 32 reasons you should be cleaning with vinegar.<\/a>\r\n<h3>Step 7<\/h3>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-1217465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_129343562-drying.jpg?fit=700,1024\" alt=\"Wiping down a wet sink\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" \/>\r\n<h4>Dry and Shine with Olive Oil<\/h4>\r\nFinally, dry the sink with a dry cloth, removing any remaining water or vinegar. Then, to really amp up the shine, use olive oil. Pour a small amount onto a dry cloth and rub it onto the sink, working in the direction of the grain. Wipe off any access oil and admire your glistening sink! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-greasy-build-up-off-cabinets\/\">Next, get started on those kitchen cabinets.<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out how to clean and polish a stainless steel sink with a few household items.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7006,"featured_media":1217430,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ep_exclude_from_search":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[303819,303823,303797],"categories-v2":[308433,308438,308432],"coauthors":[50026],"acf":{"ncv_override_generic_settings_option":false,"ncv_autoplay_option":"","ncv_stickyplay_option":"","ncv_ads_option":"","ncv_mute_option":"","ncv_comscore_option":"","ncv_moat_option":"","ncv_autoplay_mobile_option":"","ncv_viewable_threshold_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_option":"","ncv_autopause_option":"","ncv_sticky_offset_mobile_option":"","ncv_autopause_mobile_option":"","ncv_sticky_mobile_option":"","ncv_remove_player_option":false,"long_pin":"","long_pin_file":false},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.3 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink<\/title>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO Premium plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink","description":"Find out how to clean and polish a stainless steel sink with a few household items using our nifty how-to guide.","robots":{"index":"noindex","follow":"follow"},"og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink","og_description":"Find out how to clean and polish a stainless steel sink with a few household items using this nifty guide.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink\/","og_site_name":"Taste Recipes","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tasteofhome","article_published_time":"2019-09-19T17:17:40+00:00","article_modified_time":"2023-05-16T17:29:38+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1200,"height":1200,"url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_61884580-cleaning.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Erica Young","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_title":"How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink","twitter_description":"Find out how to clean and polish a stainless steel sink with a few household items using this nifty guide.","twitter_image":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_61884580-cleaning.jpg","twitter_creator":"@tasteofhome","twitter_site":"@tasteofhome","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Erica Young","Est. reading time":"2 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink\/"},"author":{"name":"Sarah Kosalos","@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a3b4144a0b4e75b41d4983e404ce76e8"},"headline":"How to Clean a Stainless Steel Sink","datePublished":"2019-09-19T17:17:40+00:00","dateModified":"2023-05-16T17:29:38+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink\/"},"wordCount":504,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-clean-a-stainless-steel-sink\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/shutterstock_61884580-cleaning.jpg","keywords":["Cleaning &amp;
